Lynn's Langostinos Avocado Salad
8 oz cooked and peeled langostinos (shrimp)
1 x avocado sliced
2 x plum tomatoes diced
1/2 cup diced red onion
1 tbl lemon juice
1 head green leaf lettuce trimmed, rinsed,
and dried
DRESSING
1 x garlic clove minced or pressed
1 tbl balsamic vinegar
Salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
3 tbl olive oil
Method :
To make the dressing, combine the garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper in a
small bowl. Whisk to mix well, then add the olive oil and whisk until thoroughly
mixed and emulsified. Taste the dressing for seasoning and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the langostinos, avocado, tomatoes and onion. Drizzle
the lemon juice over and stir gently to thoroughly mix the ingredients.
Stack a few of the lettuce leaves on a chopping board and loosely roll them up.
Cut across the leaves to form strips. Repeat with the remaining lettuce. Arrange
the lettuce on individual plates.
Whisk the dressing to remix and pour it over the langostino salad. Stir to
evenly coat the ingredients in dressing. Spoon the langostino salad over the
lettuce and serve.
